In the last three months, the Canadian Internet Handbook has established itself as a genuine Canadian publishing phenomenon. It has been on the Toronto Star's National Bestseller List for the last two months, and for six consecutive weeks, the book was the #1 selling non-fiction paperback in Canada. The authors believe it to be the first Internet book ever published to reach the #1 position on a general bestseller list. The Canadian Internet Handbook has also achieved bestseller status in several other prominent Canadian newspapers, including the Financial Post, Ottawa Citizen, and the Globe and Mail. This is a significant accomplishment for a country the size of Canada. With over 35,000 copies printed and distributed in Canada alone, the Canadian Internet Handbook has far exceeded the normal Canadian bestseller status of 5,000 copies. Due to great demand for the book in the U.S. market, the Canadian Internet Handbook is now being distributed in the U.S. by Prentice Hall. The Canadian Internet Handbook provides Internet users with comprehensive directories of Canadian Internet resources, including Canadian Gopher servers, WWW servers, and Internet-accessible library catalogues. The book also includes a detailed listing of Canadian Usenet groups, and a list of over 700 organizations that are using the Internet in Canada. Other chapters discuss such topics as "What's Wrong With the Internet?", and "Where is the Internet Going in Canada?" The book covers all the popular Internet tools - Mail, Telnet, FTP, Gopher, WAIS, WWW - and provides many examples of how Canadian businesses and individuals are using the Internet. Shell Canada, Midland Walwyn, the Regina Public Library, and the Canadian Space Agency are some of the organizations profiled in the book. Jean Monty, President and CEO of Northern Telecom Limited, introduces the book with a foreword.
